PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Toussaint Bissainthe (ranked 174 p4p, 170 weight class) and Jay Steve (ranked 26 p4p, 25 weight class). Bissainthe's entrance music is African Voodoo Drum Music. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
